Meet the Spectrum Gallatin Hydraulic Water-Powered Pool Lift.
Built with heavy-duty stainless steel and powered by water pressure instead of electricity, the Gallatin eliminates batteries, electric motors, and actuators, as well as the costs of replacing them.
While the Gallatin requires a higher initial investment, our illustrative 20-year cost comparison shows a potential $8,451 difference in ownership expenses compared with a battery-powered lift, before accounting for installation, water consumption, hydraulic maintenance, and other excluded costs. Actual expenses and savings will vary.
With proper maintenance and care, the Gallatin can provide 20+ years of service, offering long-term value, reduced maintenance responsibilities, and dependable accessibility for the people who rely on it.
The least expensive pool lift to purchase isn't necessarily the least expensive to own.

What Could the Gallatin Save Your Facility Over 20 Years?
Although the Spectrum Gallatin has a higher initial purchase price, its water-powered operation eliminates expenses associated with battery replacements, charging labor, electric motors, and actuators.
Consider this illustrative 20-year comparison:
- Battery-powered pool lift: $6,000 initial purchase + $14,593 in estimated battery, electrical component, and related labor expenses = $20,593
- Spectrum Gallatin WP400: $12,142 initial purchase + $0 in battery, electric motor, and actuator expenses = $12,142
That's a potential $8,451 cost advantage for the Gallatin over 20 years, even after accounting for its higher initial purchase price.
These figures illustrate one ownership scenario based on estimated component replacements and labor costs, not guaranteed savings. This analysis excludes installation, water consumption, hydraulic maintenance, other repairs, and eventual equipment replacement. Actual costs will vary by facility and equipment.
The takeaway? The Gallatin may cost more today, but eliminating recurring battery and electrical component expenses can make it a compelling long-term investment in dependable pool accessibility.
